In no particular order, we present our 15 top picks. Clam shrimps evolved on the Indian subcontinent, lasting through geological upheavals such as the Deccan Volcanism and the formation of the Himalayas, the researchers note. Snakes, insects, many new orchids, frogs, and even a few mammals were named in 2020. The scientists aboard the vessel reported the specimen as unique based on several factors, including notably long tentacles that. Resting eggs produced by these animals tolerate dry environment and are carried by wind and birds. During an expedition in the waters of Puerto Rico, a research team for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) came upon a stunning deep-sea sight: Duobrachium sparksae, a new species of comb jelly. gomantaki, named after Goa, has a unique head morphology among the females. Scientists have discovered proteins in the caterpillars' venom that fold up 'like a little donut' to punch holes in the victim's cells, delivering extremely potent pain signals to the brain. chalukyae, named after the Chalukyas, a dynasty which ruled large parts of south India, differs from other Indian species in the dorsal part of head and terminal part of tail with spines, particularly in males. The team, which included researchers at the Biologia Life Science LLP in Ahmednagar and the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology in Hyderabad, identified two new species ― Leptestheria chalukyae and Leptestheria gomantaki ― based on their head and tail characters and DNA sequence data.
After fixing them in ethanol, they examined and photographed the clam shrimps under a specific microscope. Kulkarni, isolated adult clam shrimp specimens from pools. To explore their diversity in India, scientists led by Sameer M. They have carapace which they shut when disturbed, making them look a lot like clam. Taxonomists (scientists that classify species) describe thousands and thousands of new extant (living) species every year, and 2021 has seen some amazing new discoveries, including impressive spiders in Papua New Guinea named after the activist Greta Thunberg and a tiny chameleon in Madagascar. The finding can help design conservation measures for localities where such small animals are found, according to the international team of researchers behind the finds.Ĭlam shrimps are not related to clams. These new species are genetically distinct from other Indian species 1.
Zoologists have discovered two new species of spiny clam shrimps in dry rock pools In Karnataka and Goa. A female Leptestheria chalukyae clam shrimp.
